财政大臣宣布了削减“填表和毫无意义的文书工作”的计划,称此举将为英国企业节省最多8亿英镑。
The chancellor has announced plans to slash "form-filling and pointless paperwork" to save UK businesses up to £800m.
部长们表示,在约翰·希利周三的首份预算案前公布的这些监管拟议调整,将减少企业面临的不必要官僚程序。
Ministers have said the proposed changes in regulations, announced ahead of John Healey's first Budget on Wednesday, will reduce unnecessary bureaucracy for businesses.
此举是预算案中更广泛努力的一部分,旨在在成本上升之际为家庭和企业提供更多支持。
The move is part of a broader effort in the Budget to offer households and businesses more support amid rising costs.
针对这一宣布,保守党表示,工党只会让企业面临的问题更加恶化。
In response to the announcement, the Conservatives said Labour had only made problems worse for businesses.
影子财政大臣安德鲁·格里菲斯说:“工党终于承认,无休止的繁文缛节正在重创全国各地的企业并扼杀就业岗位。”
"Labour have finally admitted that endless red tape is hammering businesses and killing jobs across the country," shadow chancellor Andrew Griffith said.
希利承认,英国企业“受够了填表和毫无意义的文书工作”,这些工作占用了本可更有价值地投入企业的宝贵时间和金钱。
Healey acknowledged British firms are "fed up with form-filling and pointless paperwork" eating into time and money that would be more valuable invested into their businesses.
他成为最新一位承诺削减繁文缛节的财政大臣,并表示这将让企业有更多“喘息空间”去投资并创造优质就业岗位。
He becomes the latest chancellor to pledge to slash red tape, which he said will allow businesses more "breathing space" to invest and create good jobs.
英国财政部表示,这些调整应使合规指引更易获取,并简化企业必须遵守的报告规则。部长们声称,这将节省近8亿英镑的行政和关税成本。
The changes should make compliance guidance easier, and simplify the reporting rules firms have to follow, the Treasury said. Ministers have claimed this will save almost £800m in administrative and tariff costs.
预计首相安迪·伯纳姆和希利将于周五在“北方10号”会见一些商界领袖。
Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Healey are expected to meet some business leaders on Friday at No 10 North.
伯纳姆说,“毫无意义的官僚程序妨碍”辛勤工作的人们发展自己的企业,这是不公平的。
Burnham said that it's unfair "pointless bureaucracy gets in the way" of hard-working people building their businesses.
伯纳姆说:“如果你经营一家企业,你想把时间花在服务客户、创造就业和发展公司上,而不是填写不必要的表格。”政府已为自己设定目标,要在本届议会结束前将监管削减25%。
"If you run a business, you want to spend your time serving your customers, creating jobs and growing your firm, not filling in unnecessary forms," Burnham said. The government has set itself a target of cutting regulation by 25% by the end of the current Parliament.
英国工业联合会(CBI)首席执行官雷恩·牛顿·史密斯对这些计划表示欢迎,但表示真正的考验在于改革的落实。
The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) Chief Executive Rain Newton Smith has welcomed the plans, but said the test would be in delivering reform.
与此同时,影子财政大臣争辩说,这项失业法案只会让“情况变得更糟,并造成了青年就业紧急状况”。
Meanwhile, the shadow chancellor argued that the unemployment act had only made "the situation worse and has created a youth jobs emergency".
他说:“约翰·希利必须在下周的预算中加以掌控。他必须支持我们保守党削减福利和减税的计划,这样我们才能让英国重新运转起来。”
"John Healey must get a grip in his Budget next week. He must back our Conservative plans to cut welfare and cut taxes so we can get Britain working again," he said.
